Overview
- A Cherokee County grand jury returned an indictment on Aug. 11 charging David Landsman with two counts of aggravated assault, one count of false imprisonment and a battery count.
- Court documents allege Landsman strangled Lindsie Chrisley, applied pressure to her throat and neck, forcibly threw her to the ground and caused a laceration to her head during the April 10 incident.
- The state’s filings list 11 potential witnesses, including Chrisley, and public records show she filed a protective order against Landsman in April.
- Landsman denies the allegations and his attorney said he will enter a plea of not guilty and expects the charges to be resolved in his favor.
- The indictment begins the formal criminal process but is not a finding of guilt; next steps include arraignment, discovery and possible witness testimony that will shape whether the case goes to trial.
